| 1:15 pm - 2:45 pm | The Recovery Arrived and All I Got was a Lousy Pink Slip: Why is this being called a growth recession? |
| The 2010 economy is not what many expected it to be - the stimulus wasn't all that stimulating in terms of transportation and infrastructure, debts and deficits loom, consumers have not awakened and there has been very little progress on the issues that matter most for people - jobs and their financial health. The transportation sector usually sees the changes before the rest of the economy and it still looks pretty slow from that vantage point. What went wrong, what went right and what can we expect from 2011? Is this the year for the double dip or for real growth, the year that deflation dogs the system or the year that sees the return of inflation? | |
